Chapter 728 - Ascending Together (1/2)
Yuan and Chu Liuxiang logged off the game shortly after they finished absorbing the dragon scales.
”What the? The bed is wet?!” Chu Liuxiang sat up in a surprised manner after feeling a wet sensation on her back, wondering if they'd pissed themselves by accident.
However, she quickly realized that it wasn't the bed that was wet— it was her pajamas, and her body was also soaked in sweat as well.
”Did absorbing the treasure in cultivation online make us sweat?” Yuan wondered out loud.
”It's possible, since the sensation of pain we felt was so incredibly real that it'd affected our real body.” Chu Liuxiang said.
”I'm going to wash up.”
Chu Liuxiang said, and she continued, ”You can join me whenever.”
”I am going to change the bed sheets before I go.” Yuan said.
Chu Liuxiang entered the bathroom a moment later while Yuan replaced the bedsheets with new ones before joining Chu Liuxiang in the bathroom.
”Let me wash your back.” Chu Liuxiang said to him.
”Thank you.”
”No, I should be thanking you. If you didn't help me with the Flood Dragon's scale today, I would have not been able to absorb it, and I would've wasted a very precious treasure.” She sighed.
”I'd gladly do it again if it's for you.” Yuan smiled.
”...”
Chu Liuxiang suddenly turned silent.
”You know, if you say stuff like that, it makes me want to embrace you,” she suddenly said.
Yuan began blushing when he heard words, which reminded his experience with Meixiu.
After a moment of silence, Chu Liuxiang said, ”By the way, I have decided to visit my parents tomorrow. I want to tell them my feelings as soon as possible and get it out of my chest.”
”Do you want me to come with you?” Yuan then asked.
”No, I will go alone. However, if I don't return…”
”You think they'll force you to stay?”
”I don't need to think about it. There's a very good chance that they won't let me return after I tell them my feelings, but who knows, a miracle could happen.”
”Don't worry, if they don't let you leave, I will take you back myself as long as you want me to.”
”I want to return to your side.” Chu Liuxiang said.
”That's all I need to know.” Yuan smiled.
After they finished washing, they went downstairs to see if Meixiu needed help with preparing dinner.
”Looks like you had a breakthrough. Congratulations.” Yuan said to her when he noticed a chance in her aura.
”Thank you.”
”We participated in an auction today. I wanted to invite you, but I didn't want to disturb your cultivation.”
”What did you buy?” She then asked.
”Nothing. The treasure being sold was too expensive for us. It sold for twenty million spirit stones, which is about 200 billion gold coins!”
Meixiu's eyes widened with surprise.
”200 billion? That's a lot of money… What was sold?”
”A treasure called Flood Dragon's scale. It belongs to a powerful magical beast from the upper heavens.” Yuan recalled the auction for Meixiu.
”By the way, Feng Feng also happened to have a Flood Dragon's scale, and she gave it to Lulu, who has water spiritual veins, allowing her to improve her innate talent.”
Sometime later, Meixiu said, ”Since I won't breakthrough for a while, I can start playing with you again.”
